Study Description
Brief Summary

Detailed Description
The chromosomal instability (CIN) pathway, the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) pathway and the microsatellite instability (MSI) pathway are three major carcinogenesis pathways to colorectal cancer (CRC). In this study, the investigators aimed to investigate distinctive molecular features of carcinogenesis pathways among healthy control, colorectal adenoma, and CRC and compare their molecular progression according to patients' sex and tumor location as well as disease stage.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- The characteristics of carcinogenesis-related molecular markers in colorectal adenoma and CRC [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Using endoscopically biopsied specimens, multiple carcinogenic markers were investigated including KRAS and BRAF mutation, PD-L1, EGFR, IL-1b, NLRP3, Caspase-1, p53 expression, Microinstability (MSS, MSI-L, MSI-H), PD-L1, DNA mismatch repair proteins (MLH1, MSH2, MSH6, PMS2), CIMP markers (p16, MINT1, MINT2, MINT31, hMLH1), promoter methylation of p16, RUNX3, NEUROG1. CIMP was assessed by methylation-specific PCR for five methylation panel markers (p16, MINT1, MINT2, MINT31, hMLH1), and MSI status was validated by PCR using five NCI markers (BAT-26, BAT-25, D5S346, D17S250, and S2S123). KRAS and BRAF mutation was analyzed by direct sequencing using sequence-specific primers from the acquired biopsy specimens. PD-L1, EGFR, MMR expression was examined using immunohistochemistry.
- Fecal microbiota analysis in patients with colorectal adenoma and CRC [through study completion, an average of 1 year]
Using next-generation sequencing technique, fecal microbiota of patients with colorectal adenoma and CRC as well as healthy control was evaluated to verify carcinogenesis-related microbiota.
